George, I lost a friend to suicide because of CH (and he was a doctor). My first thought when I heard the news was, "He's not in pain anymore." I guess I should have mourned for him, but all I felt was a sense of peace for him. He'd suffered so bad for so long (he was chronic for years).
We all think about it, but most of us see a light at the end of the tunnel (some days it's harder to see than on others). I usually tell people to think about the worse pain they can imagine then multiply it by 1000 and that might come close to a CH.
But that's just my opinion - I could be wrong.
